18 <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

152<p><kbd>Stream</kbd> is a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats. It writes the pixel components as they are read from the input image a row at a time making <kbd>stream</kbd> desirable when working with large images or when you require raw pixel components.</p>
153</div>
154
155<h2><a name="usage"></a>Example Usage</h2>
156<div class="doc-section">
157
158<p>We list a few examples of the <kbd>stream</kbd> command here to illustrate its usefulness and ease of use. To get started, lets stream the red, green, blue components of a 640x480 JPEG image to disk as unsigned characters:</p>
159
160<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>stream -map rgb -storage-type char image.jpg pixels.dat</span><span class='crtout'></span><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>display -depth 8 -size 640x480 rgb:pixels.dat</span></p>
161<p>Here we extract a 100x100 region from a TIFF image in the grayscale format as doubles:</p>
162
163<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>stream -map i -storage-type double -extract 100x100+30+40 image.tif gray.raw</span></p>
164<p>You can also associate the region to extract with the image filename:</p>
165
166<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>stream -map i -storage-type double 'image.tif[100x100+30+40]' gray.raw</span></p>
